Question: Consider a composite wall that includes an 8 - mm - thick hardwood siding, 4 0 - mm by 1 3 0 - mmhardwood studs

Consider a composite wall that includes an 8-mm-thick hardwood siding, 40-mm by 130-mmhardwood studs spaced 0.65 m apart on center, with glass fiber insulation (paper faced, 28 kg/m3), and a 12-mm layer of gypsum (vermiculite) wall board. What is the thermal resistance if the wall is 2.5 m high by 6.5 m wide (having 10 studs, each 2.5 m high), and has inside and outside air temperatures of 21\deg C and 1\deg C respectively? What is the heat loss through this wall?
